Water cooling a titan-x.... In a notebook?

[Meaker]

Ok a bit of a lie:

It's in a box connected to my notebook:

I am going to mod the titan-X with a water cooler and was thinking of doing a loop with a Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta 120mm (86mm depth, 80mm thick fins) and a single SP120 fan from corsair (I just have room to fit it and let the fan draw air).

The loop only has to worry about the GPU, I can't really fit anything larger water block wise (and that is having a custom mount cut into the bottom).

Is that a good idea or am I better off getting a thinner radiator and another fan? I think the cooling should be enough but what do you guys think?

Well in case anyone was interested, it works

Did you end up watercooling it? Any pics?

Hole cut in the bottom (where the 120mm fan is mounted for checking dimensions in the photo) let me do this:

Now that's what I'd call tight

Nice job fitting all of that in there

I've taken the speakers out of the front and placed a 120mm in take that draws through the front grill (and over the pump a little), this helps keep air moving even though it is packed in.

Certainly a lot of water cooling fittings required to get the lengths short and angled enough. 5 90 degree and 2 45 degree fittings, every connection has 1 or more angled connector.

As part of a second stage I have moved fan control over from the GPU and gone for the aquaero 5 LT control board:

I have used the 4 included sensors to help expand my monitoring, I may get the LED expansion and move the lights over to it too but we will see.

I'm not really familiar with the aquaero, but where did you fit it? Not like you have much available space in that thing. You've been running that setup a while now, anything you don't like about it? Very interesting build.

The LT does not come with an LCD screen helping to keep it fairly thin. It sits in some the extra space I got removing the front speakers so between the 120mm front fan and the reservoir and up against the radiator. Note the internals were already tweaked a little:

As for how it has been, pretty good. You do have to baby the CPU a little, I have different XTU profiles, on that note I wish all the CPU options were in the BIOS.

I need to extend the bottom strip and sort the wiring still along with improving the light blanking in certain areas but it's a start

 

[Meaker]

The SF600 is really tiny:

Compared to the gear S2 smart watch:

Left to right: SF600 (SFX), SX-500LG (SFX-L), VX450 (ATX)

Stacked:

Messy but all in:

See the rewired molex right by the pump Turned out really well.

I think I do need the material to spread the light for the flames.
